"As teenagers, we all strive to achieve our own individual identities. Being in the [Air Force JROTC program] forced me to take the more challenging path toward knowing and creating the person I am today. Instead of "acting out" through clothing and appearances, I learned to set myself apart by my actions and interests. The uniforms were the same, but my fellow classmates and I were as different as individuals could be. As I went through high school, I watched my friends at home change in appearance, but they behaved the same way. On the other hand, I knew I had changed through how I conducted myself, the people I enjoyed being around, and the things or activities I valued."
--Charles Swaim, Class of 1977
